#XRPHOLDERS vs. U.S. SECURITIES & EXCHANGE COMMISSION

NOTICE OF PENDING LEGAL ACTION

#XRPCOMMUNITY PLEASE FORWARD TO ANY #XRPHOLDER WHO OWNS #XRP AND WISHES TO JOIN IN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT TO BE FILED AGAINST THE SEC

Please be advised that, after I file the lawsuit

I must demonstrate to the Court that I am able to notify the potential members of the class in order to have the case be certified as a class action lawsuit. Pursuant to the Federal Rules:

“The notice may be by one or more of the following: United States mail, electronic means,

or other appropriate means.”

One viable means today is the use of social media. Obviously, Twitter is not going to serve as the only means of communicating to potential members of the class action. But it definitely serves as a good starting point. There are other means

available as well that I intend to use to notify all persons who qualify and want to be included in the lawsuit.

Most of the time a lawyer will file the class action and then attempt to identify the members of the class afterwards.

I want to have as many of the members identified as early as possible. Plus, there is strength in numbers and I want to demonstrate a strong united class of #XRPHolders at the very outset of the case.

The #XRPHolders that owned #XRP on December 22, 2020 are likely to be

considered the most relevant claimants in the lawsuit against the SEC.

At this point of the process we simply want to be able to demonstrate the ability to ascertain the potential members of the class. We are not at the point of determining, with certainty, who qualifies as an

actual member of the class. Therefore, I’m looking for all persons who previously owned #XRP on December 22, 2020 and who owns it currently. This includes all potential members whether they reside in the United States or outside the United States.

Please understand that this

notice does not constitute any promises or assurances that any particular person will be included nor is it a promise or assurance that anyone will receive any form of compensation whatsoever.

It should also be noted that there is no promise, guarantee, or assurance that I will

be certified as the lead trial lawyer that will represent the class.

This tweet and notification is for information gathering purposes only. If a class action is, in fact, certified and I’m not appointed as the lead attorney, I will provide any information I obtain to the

Court and/or to any other counsel appointed by the Court.

The only assurances and guarantee that I do make is that your name will only be shared for the purposes of the lawsuit and not released to any third parties. And, finally, there will be no request made by me or anyone

associated with me for anything from you other than your name, email, address or other contact information.

I have noticed on Twitter that sometimes scam artists (criminals) create fake accounts pretending to be someone and ask for money or crypto, etc. If you receive any such

request from any account claiming to be me or associated with me IT IS A FAKE AND A SCAM!

If you ever have any concerns or questions you can contact me at The Deaton Law Firm at:

401-351-6400 or
877-351-9818 or via email at:

[e-mail]

There will be other

means used to notify potential members of the class down the road. For example, the Flare Spark Token Airdrop took a snapshot of all #XRP accounts less than two weeks before the SEC filed the case against @Ripple.

After the case is filed, we can seek out that information.

I’m sharing this with you because I don’t want to give an impression that you must contact me or my office immediately in order to be included.

Like I said, I’m just recording the names of those that already definitely know that they want to join in on the fight against the SEC

If you want to be included in the lawsuit (including your name potentially listed on the Complaint or pleadings) please DM me on Twitter AND email me at

[e-mail]

If you do both the DM and the email it will help make sure that your name is included. I am

aware that many of you have already contacted my law firm and made your intentions to be included known to me. I have maintained those emails. Thank you.

We are all witnessing the @SEC_Enforcement make a huge power grab in the case against Ripple and #XRP. The latest Risk Alert

published by the SEC regarding digital assets makes it clear that the SEC, if successful against Ripple, will not stop with only #XRP. All Digital Assets are at stake. We either sit around and bitch and moan or we take the fight to them.
